Do it for the boys

Guys, This Is For You

First, I want to say how happy I am that I found my best guy friends within the first week of school. It can take a while to find your close friends considering we go to a school with 14,000 undergraduates, but I found you all. Until now, I never really knew what it was like just to be friends with a guy, because it always ended up meaning something more. Thank you for teaching me how I should be treated.

I am beyond grateful that I have...

Guys that listen to my struggles

Guys that would come sit with me when I was eating alone

Guys that would come up at 3 am just to keep me company

Guys that would pretend to date me just to fend off the clingy men

Guys that would bring me food and make me tea when I was sick

Deep down, I feel you guys resemble the brothers I never had. You always have my back, and I want you to know always have yours. One thing that I love about our relationship is that we can discuss my guy problems or your girl problems and we can give each other solid advice. Let's face it, any girl would be crazy if they didn't want you in their life because you all just have awesome characteristics.

One reason I am glad to have you guys is because there is less drama. Girls can be nasty as you know and start rumors and make it into an unnecessary passive aggressive battle that never seems to end! You always include me, whether it is the weekly DJ's outing or even just going to the gym. I love the small things--like hanging out with our favorite RSA Jason at 2 AM, blasting music and starting a random dance party. These things add up and I look back and realize how important you are to me.

As Mike always says "Do it for the boys"

Love you guys. Let's make these next four years count.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
